Oh my, that is a ridiculous amt. If the repair costs are greater than the car's worth, isn't it considered totalled?
 


<< Just curious, who's going to be doing the work? >>



A local body shop that was recommended by a dealer i know.. also happened to be a preferred shop of my insurance company
 
That sucks, I feel for you. I had two minor accidents earlier today after dropping off the kids. Once guy left me off the hook, I fled the seen for the other one.
 
Sounds good. A good shop will make all the difference when it's time to sell the car. Make sure they know that you expect perfection in the body panel alignment and paint job.

<< YOU WRECKED AN IS300!!~ YOU BASTARD!! POOR POOR LEXUS >>



I can assure you it was not on purpose! 😉

you fled the scene? thats not too smart. thats called hit-and-run and thats also against the law.
 
Well, I got out of my car to talk to the lady I hit, and she attacked me with her purse. I hit her with my purse a few times and slapped her around a bit, and sped off while she was still getting up. Looks like my insurances rates will stay ok.

<< what exactly happend, and what was damaged that it would cost 11k? >>



Spun out on an old wooden bridge in the rain and hit a guard rail.

a bunch of parts need to be replaced and they are OEM parts so the are quite expensive (read: overpriced)

for example.. they want almost $1200 for a head light assembly. the wheels (needs 1 new one) are $600.. so you see how this can add up
heck the paint alone is over $500.

nutty if you ask me.. but what can ya do?
